President Donald Trump sparked a wave of reactions Sunday night after posting a satirical AI-generated video to Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office, as the classic campaign rally anthem “Y.M.C.A.” played in the background.
The video, which appeared to originate from TikTok, began with a 30-second montage of real Democrats saying the phrase: “No one is above the law.” It then transitioned into an AI animation of Obama being escorted by FBI agents, while Trump watches with a grin.
Trump has been going full 4Chan over on Truth Social.
He is sharing AI videos of Obama being arrested and thrown in prison.
Is Trump just trolling? Or is this soft disclosure?

Video Follows Gabbard’s Explosive Declassification
The post comes just days after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents alleging that Obama-era officials “politicized and manufactured intelligence” to push the now-debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax in 2016.
Gabbard said the information has been turned over to the Department of Justice and may lead to criminal referrals for top officials in the Obama White House.
“This was a treasonous conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people,” Gabbard stated last week.
Democrats, meanwhile, have dismissed Gabbard’s findings as politically driven—but her disclosures have been embraced by Trump and many conservatives as long-overdue vindication.
Media and Critics React to Trump’s Post
Mainstream outlets were quick to attack Trump’s video, labeling it “fake” or “AI-manipulated”—while ignoring the broader point: a growing demand for accountability among American voters.
Trump has regularly used Truth Social to mock the political establishment, and his latest post clearly ties back to ongoing revelations about Obama-era misconduct.
The video appears to be a digitally altered version of the November 2016 Oval Office meeting between Trump and Obama following the election.
Context: “Lock Her Up” Refrain Returns
During his 2016 campaign, Trump popularized the chant “Lock her up” in reference to Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. At the time, the media called it unprecedented. Now, with evidence of systemic abuse by Obama-era intelligence officials coming to light, Trump’s latest post is being seen by supporters as a symbolic shot across the bow.
